The temple described in Rev.11 is in reference to the coming temple (not Ezekiel's) that Israel will build once that seven year agreement is made by the antichrist. They have had the blue prints for it for some time and are ready to build. The Sanhedrin has also been reconvened for at least the several years now and have been learning to sacrifice according to the law. Everything is in place. All that is needed is the completion of the church and its gathering, which will be followed by the revealing of that antichrist.
"replacement theology" - what is it?

Trofimus, the city is not just about the church, but about Israel as well. For the names of the twelve tribes of Israel will literally be written on the twelve gates, each made of a single pearl. Representing the church will be the twelve apostles whose names will be written on the twelve foundations. According to the dimensions given, the city will be a cube 1400 miles wide, deep and high. Each gate will be made from a single pearl and the foundations will each be made of a precious gem and will be garnished with different types of gems.
Yeah, Church had 12 gates during the Israel's era and 12 foundation during the era of gospel.
I am not sure what 1400 and various gems symbolize, but I think somebody who study such things will know.
I am not saying it can not be a literal city, too. I dont know, maybe.
But the symbolic meaning is almost certain.

I don't think so, I think it's people and I think the reed measurement is like the plumbline measurement in Amos.
Amos 7:7-9 KJV
Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
[8] And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
[9] And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Jesus being the "bruised reed" and the plumb line used to measure the temple of God. This is the separation of the true Jews from the fleshly Jews prior to the destruction or the temple in AD 70.
So the temple in Rev is talking about the true temple of God being established before the shadow temple was destroyed.

1. Because of the context. Revelation is a prophetic book working with symbols. Its the way of its communication with us.
Symbolic reading is the natural one. And it makes no difficulty. It makes perfect sense.
2. "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.", says the angel.
So the natural reading is "this is about the bride of Lamb - the church".
3. Everything is for example in twelves, which is an obvious symbolism.
1. It does not apply to visions and revelations.
2. I dont think the literal meaning makes a good sense. The city would look like a perfect giant bright cube. With some tree needed for healing of nations etc.

I am with you up till the last part.
I would say the end is more like What Jesus said, He was going to leave, and they (jerusalem, or jacob) would not see him until they shout out his name. (repent and acknowledge him as messiah)
SO that would be the end times,
Your seeing two parts to the whole here. the 1st comming, then he leaves, and then the second comming In between is the "prophetic Gap" you all hate.
